About Me

What in the world is TK?! Terrific Kids? Well, yes, but actually TK stands for Transitional Kindergarten. All of my students are 5 years old and they have all been through a 4 year old Pre-K program. With the NC law 3 years ago they would have been able to enter public kindergarten. However in 2009, NC made a change to the birthday cut off which left over 13,000 students having to wait another year to start Kindergarten. Schools had to adjust their curriculum or add a whole new class...welcome to Transitional Kindergarten!

My name is Kristy Serdinsky aka Ms Kristy. I was born and raised in a small PA town and moved to NC 7 years ago. I am married and have a beautiful blended family with 4 children. My 2, Ethan and Isabella and my 2 awesome bonus kiddos, Allison and Madelyn.

I absolutely love teaching. Besides being a mom, it's the best job in the world! I teach a very small class at a private school here in North Carolina.

Shaving cream in TK?!

Yes!

A great FUN way to practice writing our letters and words is with... Shaving cream! Who woulda thought?!

We each got a squirt of shaving cream and spread it out a little in front of us. This became our shaving cream writing canvas! Using our pointer finger we made the correct letter formation of the letter Ss...which is such a tricky letter and easily flipped. Then we "cleared our canvas" by just wiping our hand over the Ss we just made! How cool is that?! :) Next, we wrote our sight word of the week, so.

We practiced writing our first phonogram learned...sh. Then some sh words, like fish and dish! We had SO much fun....we will definitely be doing this again!!
